摘要
We have demonstrated that a medium-emittance (26 pi mm mrad), medium-current (60 A), 24 mu s pulse 155 MeV electron beam from the FELI linac with a thermionic gun allows free electron laser (FEL) oscillations at 0.28-0.36 mu m. The peak and average FEL powers are 1.8 MW and 4 mW at 0.35 mu m. Gain estimation and effects of electron beam quality and filling factor on gain are also discussed. Experimental verification of gain estimates and the criteria on the electron beam quality and wavelength limit due to photon diffraction are tested with our data from visible- and ultraviolet-FEL oscillations.
